UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE CIGAR.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May '26, 1908.

Application filed October 14, 1905. Serial No. 282,819.

vTo all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ISIDOR KITsEE, of the city and county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cigars, of which the following 1s a s ecification.

My invention re ates to an improvement in cigars. Its object is to provide the cigar with a device whereby its particular brand may be easily ascertained, and it is also the aim of my invention to produce through said device an air-channel through said cigar.

In the drawings, Figures 1 and 2 are side elevations of a cigar provided with the device embodying my invention.

It is the essential feature of this my invention that throughout said cigar is carried a thread, and that preferably the ends of said thread shall extend outside of said cigar. In Fig. 1 the ends of this thread are left free but in Fig. 2 the ends of the threads are connected in a manner so as to form a knot or bow about midway of the length of the cigar.

The cigar proper is designated as A, the thread or fiber as B; this thread may be applied to the cigar during the process of forming said ci ar, which I prefer, but it may also be applie to the cigar after the same is made.

I exclude distinctly from this my invention all and everything whereby brands of cigars are distinguished from each other through fibers either in the sha e of threads or otherwise placed only aroun the cigar, or going only part way through the body of the cigar, as the same have proven unsatisfactory.

Having now described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Let ters Patent is 1. A cigar, a thread assing lengthwise throughout the whole bo y of the cigar, the ends of said thread forming a loop on the outside of said cigar.

2. In combination with a cigar, a thread passing lengthwise through the whole body of said cigar, the ends of said thread connected together on the outside of said cigar.

3. A cigar, a thread carried lengthwise through the whole body of said cigar, the ends of said thread being carried about midway outside of said cigar, forming there a loop around the circumference of the cigar and being connected after forming said loop.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

ISIDOR KITSEE.
